The MegaSquirt Project has experienced explosive growth other the years, with hundreds of new MS installations occurring every week - a phenomenal success! MegaSquirt has been successfully used in all aspects of Internal Combustion engine applications including R&D, Industry, Race, and Research. The MS project has transformed itself from a simple R&D project into a full-featured mature engine control system. To reflect this the support structure has also changed to meet the needs of MegaSquirt Users.
Moving forward, the R&D forums for MegaSquirt project are in a read-only mode - no new forum posts are accepted.
However the forums will remain available for view, they still contain a wealth of information on how MegaSquirt works, how it is installed and used. Feel free to search the forums for information, facts, and overview.While the R&D forum traffic has slowed in recent years, this is not at all a reflection of Megasquirt users, which continue to grow year after year. What has changed is that the method of MegaSquirt support today has rapidly moved to Facebook, this is where the vast majority of interaction is happening now. For those not on Facebook the msextra forums is another place for product support. Finally, for product selection assistance, all of the MegaSquirt vendors are there to help you select a system, along with all of the required pieces to make it complete.

Description: Thanks Al. Thanks Bruce. Thanks Eric Fahlgren. Thanks everyone else. Without this project I'd probably be stuck with some limited piggyback computer or given up on this turbo project.

This is an off-road vehicle but street legal. It has 35x12.5R15 BFGoodRich all-terrain radials.
The car did a few runs on the drag strip in the summer of 2004 with bad spark plug wires giving some occasional misfires around peak torque and a ground loop in the electronics causing MCU resets in first gear.
Managed to do a 15.8 with 81.7mph trap speed, 2.295 second 60ft because the tires were spinning so bad. Best trap speed was 83mph. 1/8 mile time was 10.0 @ 66.67mph
I had a different setup last year, with a KKK K14 turbo blowing 9psi boost. On 225x75R15 tires it ran a best of 16.4 seconds @ 80mph with a 2.113 sec 60ft.
On the 35" tires I did 2 runs with the old setup, both at 17.0 seconds with a 74mph trap speed and 2.284 second 60ft.

I don't have any recent photos of the car but here are a couple of shots when test-fitting the new exhaust manifold and the Garrett turbo.

I have a stock normally aspirated 96-98 1600 16V w/ MFI and Ignition running MSII V3, in my 87 Samurai. I'm just starting to tune. Any numbers you might have for a starting point would be a big help and greatly appreciated.

I know this is an old thread but no harm in trying. Does anyone have data for a stock 1997 Vitara 1.6 16V? I've never used MS before but I've done projects of this sort of complexity before so I should be able to handle it. I just don't want to do it if I need to start from scratch!
